March 2, 2009

I woke up on this day having a doctor's appointment in the afternoon.  By the time I got there I had already rehearsed my pathetic plea for an induction.  I was miserable and ready and only 2 days from my due date.  My OB worked her magic w/o drugs and within minutes contractions began.  I headed home from my appt., called Tracy to come stay with the kids, and we were off to the hospital, all within an hour and a half.  I would relive all that in an instant if given the chance.  What a very exciting time that was.

Minutes before Chris and I left for the hospital, in the early stages of labor

Just before I had to put my lovely hospital gown on
That's a 9lb. baby in there!

Waiting for the anesthesiologist to give me my epidural, this was in between contractions


I was just told I was going to have to have this baby naturally and this was just minutes before my complete, horrible, ugly-cry breakdown. 

READY

Lauren, our third and last child, a girl!, was born just after midnight on March 3

To be continuted tomorrow, the little girl's first birthday.
